Manitowoc launches another big Potain crane from its China factory
The Potain MCR 815 luffing jib crane has a 64 t maximum capacity – twice that of the current largest luffing jib crane from the Company’s Zhangjiagang, China factory.
The 70 m jib can be luffed to an out-of-service radius of just 16 m, making it ideal for congested jobsites.
A powerful new winch offers line speeds of up to 185 m/min with a 2.3 t load.
The system automates cleaning and lubrication by feeding the wire rope through an aluminum housing equipped with inserts that are easily clamped around it.
The inserts and scrapers are currently available to suit 16, 17, 19, 22, and 24 mm rope diameters. Further diameters can be made available upon request.
It delivers significant savings in downtime and technician hours, plus greater efficiency in crane operation.
The companies are launching a program to raise funds for veterans through donation matching, limited-edition shirts, symbolic challenges, and employee support.
The arrival of many Grove RT540E rough-terrain cranes will help the port manage increasing cargo volumes to support Bangladesh’s booming export industry.
Chittagong Port Authority purchased the cranes via local dealer ETL (Essential Trade Lines).
Grove is now the most popular crane brand at Chittagong Port, thanks to its reliable and durable performance.
At the Yaouré Gold Mine in Ivory Coast, a Grove all-terrain crane is essential for daily operations. Due to its isolated location, the mine staff required on-site training to independently handle maintenance and minor repairs.
Manitowoc is boosting the team’s self-reliance and allowing them to get the most out of the crane.
The reconditioning of the rough-terrain crane took just 12 days, meeting the urgency of its new owners who needed it deployed on a project immediately.
The final cost was about 40% of the price of a new crane of the same capacity and included a new manufacturer’s warranty.
The used crane was traded in as part of the payment for two new, higher-capacity Grove cranes.
